David Stockman, chief architect of Reagan’s supply-side economics, will be interviewed by National Center for Policy Analysis President John C. Goodman at a Dallas luncheon on Friday, February 21st as part of the NCPA’s Hatton W. Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series.

Media are invited to attend and cover.

Formerly known as the Republican Party’s “wunderkind,” David Stockman served as a member of the House of Representatives before accepting his position as Reagan’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget at the age of 35.

While Director of the OMB, Stockman drew fire for asserting that the 1981 tax cuts were “a Trojan horse” to bring down top tax rates in a controversial article in The Atlantic. Since his resignation, Stockman has continued to speak out against the corruption of America’s free-market economy into a system of “crony capitalism.”After leaving the White House, Stockman had a 20-year career on Wall Street.

Stockman’s most recent book, The Great Deformation: the Corruption of Capitalism in America, extolls the ravages of K-Street lobbies and federal bailouts on the American economy.
